It would be the same as designing for any website really. Ruby on Rails sites are styled the same way using CSS and marked up using HTML.erb. Its just the way the site is built in Ruby is different but the styling is consistent with normal web design.

The larger a site gets the more complicated the front end markup gets. Lots of things start to matter like using an HTML preprocessor like erb or haml and using a CSS preprocessor like Sass or LESS. Also there's a lot of CSS architecture work that goes on.
